Guest Reviews

A Princely Palace

The sumptuous surroundings of the Luxury Collection Hotel in Vienna were originally created in 1863 as the Vienna residence of the Prince of Wuerttemberg. They were transformed into the Hotel Imperial for the Vienna World's Fair in 1873.

Gracious Architecture

The Hotel Imperial has been welcoming members of royal families, politicians and other international opinion leaders ever since it opened in 1873 as the first luxury hotel in Vienna. However, a lot has happened in the past 150 years, so let us tell you the story of our house.

Café Imperial Wien

Among the coffee houses of the Austrian capital, the Café Imperial Wien impresses with a living tradition, finest cuisine, discreet service and Vienna's most exclusive champagne breakfast. This has been an institution among the cafés of Vienna ever since 1873.

Imperial Torte

Probably the sweetest Viennese tradition. The cake was created to mark the opening of the Hotel Imperial and in honour of Emperor Franz Josef I. Of course the recipe is a well-kept secret to this day.
